We’ve been appointed to design a 528 hectare mixed-use waterfront development in Patimban New City, Indonesia.
Commissioned by JICA for the West Java Government, our multidisciplinary team, alongside Nippon Koei and AMO, has created a sustainable masterplan for a flood-prone site between mangrove forests and Patimban port. The plan aims to unlock the area’s commercial potential, creating a resilient, ecological waterfront city that fosters a symbiotic relationship between communities, local ecology, and the built environment.
“Patimban New City will be a leading example of a sustainable maritime city that demonstrates innovative urban development and progressive placemaking. Urban development needs to address challenges posed by climate change and habitat loss and we are delighted to be a part of a project that celebrates a new standard of waterfront living in Indonesia, where communities and nature will thrive, side by side.”
The project is part of a broader strategy to shift logistics from Indonesia’s industrial areas to underdeveloped regions.
Indonesia has planned the development and upgrade of several ports and port ‘hubs’ across the country. Patimban port was identified as one such area that would be developed to create new communities and to include measures that mitigate against, and adapt, to the effects of climate change. Our plan is also part of a wider strategic redevelopment that will shift the logistics pressures from industrial areas of Indonesia to under-developed locations across the archipelago.
